MSCI 751 NEW VENTURE CREATION FOR SCIENCE & ENGIN Credits 3.00 Spring 01
This course deals with the concepts and theories relevant to new venture
creation. Our primary focus is the start-up process with particular emphasis
beign placed on market issues, intellectual property and entrepreneurial
finance. As part of the course we will evaluate the commercial potential of a
live technology drawn from the Rice engineering/science community. The concepts
covered will be particularly relevant to students who are interested in careers
in technology or entrepreneurial ventures. Course is offered to senior and
graduate students. Also offered as CHEM 751 and MGMT 751.
